Why choose a Pack ‘n Play or Playard?

WHAT IS A PLAYARD? WHY DO I NEED IT?

First and foremost, playards are designed to give your baby a safe and portable space for napping and playing. Depending on where and how you plan on using your playard, there are a number of options you may find worthwhile. Many parents purchase a playard to serve as a “care station” in the home, as well as a second, lightweight basic model for travel use. The term Pack ‘N Play® is commonly used interchangeably with the word playard. However, Pack ‘N Play® is the brand name for the line of playards from Graco

WHAT ARE MY PLAYARD OPTIONS?

If you’re just looking to keep your baby safe for a few minutes now and then, a basic playard will probably meet your needs. Keep in mind, however, that playards are for more than just playing. Today’s playards can provide:

A Newborn Napper or a Cuddle Cove Removable Rocking Seat – a soothing place for an infant to rest.

Note that the Newborn Napper does NOT have a rocking seat. It stays stationary even when removed from the Playard. On the other hand, as the name suggests, the Cuddle Cove Rocking Seat can be rocked (with better performance on hardwood floors than carpet) ONLY when it is removed from the Playard.

Playard bassinet, which can double as a portable crib for home or travel for babies weighing 15 pounds or less

A portable changing station with changing table insert or attached changing table and organizer or built-in storage shelves for diapers and baby wipes
